Our Mission

Forest Friends School serves kids ages 4-6 in the Coeur d'Alene,  Idaho area. We are located just 10 minutes South of downtown CDA on 5 beautiful acres of forest & field.

​

We believe in using the tools of nature and nurture to help children at this precious, foundational age grow.

​

We are full for Fall 2021 with a waitlist. If you're interested in Fall 2022, click below to get your name on the contact list!
